I was born in Salisbury, NC and graduated from Salisbury High in 1980. Writing began as a hobby and was something that was out of character for me. Once I began to write, God began to show me that this was indeed possible. My motto is "through God all things are possible and never let a dream die without at least trying to fulfill it." This book is evidence of that motto in action. Major influences in my life: GOD and people with "positive" attitudes.
